Today I close the door to the past, open the door to the future, take a deep breath,step on through and start a new chapter in my life.   - Unknown In order to step through the door of new beginnings questions must be answered .  And from those questions  decisions must be made.  The most important question I ask myself  is...what am I willing to leave behind? To be genuinely happy, am I willing to let go of all the unhappiness that I have carried all these years?  Am I willing to leave behind the judgments of others and the judgements I hold for myself? What would living  a life free of judgment and self condemnation truly feel like to me?  Am I willing to leave behind the fears associated with these judgments?  Better yet, am I willing to leave behind the fears of having nothing to take judgment's place? What am I willing to leave behind?  What would it feel like?  What would it look like?  How would I a...

 Your awakening process isn’t just about becoming consciously aware -- it's about growing up and maturing as well.    For many, this doesn’t always  go hand in hand.   There are those who believe that just  being  aware is enough.   It isn’t .     There are those who believe that if they repeat certain “catch phrases” this will magically and automatically turn them into a full grown and matured awaken individual.   It doesn’t .   There are those who believe that if they hold on to the ways and teachings of those that came before them … this too will make them more awake, more aware and make them  mature, complete and whole.  That is more than enough   It isn't. These are only a small part of your spiritual maturity -- the first steps towards your spiritual growth, if you will.  Your spiritual awakening is much like your physical growing process.  You...

  The Gratitude Gap™ happens when we fail to express appreciation for the goodness in our lives. The Gratitude Gap™  occurs when we show lack to no appreciation for the challenges, problems and pain that comes into our lives. The Gratitude Gap™ takes place whenever we show a lack of appreciation. * Lack of appreciation for things ... great or small; * Lack of appreciation of the painful things; * Lack of appreciation for anything and/or anyone we may dislike or causes us pain. The Gratitude Gap™ isn't about liking or loving everything and everyone. It's about showing appreciation for the gifts EVERYONE and EVERYTHING brings into our lives. Situations, words and deeds that enrich us in ways we never believed possible. No matter how painless or how painful they may be. Bottom line... The Gratitude Gap™ is about being thankful for every single opportunity to learn and to grow past our own short-comings. Gratitude strengthens our emotional, mental and spirit...

RULE OF THUMB:   You don't call an electrician when you need your busted pipes fixed!  And you don't go to a psychic reader when you have a medical and/or mental, emotional health issue.  You also don't go to a psychic reader for legal advice either.  Major no-no's! *~*~*~* First of all, I am  not  a medical professional nor do I claim to be.    I do not nor have I nor will I ever provide a medical diagnosis.  The only thing medical I will ever say to you is ...  SEE AN ACTUAL DOCTOR!  ASK YOUR DOCTOR!   Or... you Might wanna CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR!

When it comes to genuinely forgiving -- I fall short.  Way short ! I know this only because … I can rattle off the names of a half dozen people  who have gone out of their way to slander me, hurt me and my family in some way.   And not only that,   every once in a while -- I actually take a few minutes to envision these assholes  being trampled by a flock of 100 foot mutant chickens.   It puts a smile on my face!   Makes me giggle!  Seriously -- who wouldn’t laugh at the thought of someone running from a gigantic chicken? Don’t get me wrong -- I don’t spend too much time on these fantasies.   Those morons aren’t worth the time and energy.  But still … whenever I need a good laugh  … I just flip on that imagination switch and let those mutant chickens run rampant! *~*~* Entertaining thoughts such as these is what  EFT Practitioner Margaret Lynch refers to as “Negative Pleasures.”    Accor...

Facing your fears isn't easy.  Then again, no one said it would be!  That has to be one of  the most grossly under-stated lines ... Ever !   And I speak from experience! If you been following my blog for the last few months, you already know that one of my fears is standing out -- being seen and heard.  Hard to believe!  I know! But it's true!    However, I am one of these people who prefer to face their fears.  Okay, truthfully -- I face them after a few bouts of holding my breath, making myself sick,  running and hiding, ditching and dodging and all that stuff like that there!   But eventually, I do pull myself together and look my fear right in the eye.  My fears of being seen and heard stems from my childhood and was compounded throughout the years through a rather interesting series of events.   To make a rather long story short -- each and every time I spoke up, made myself visible ... I was punishe...

"...The greatest danger facing us is ourselves, and irrational fear of the unknown. But there's no such thing as 'the unknown,' only things temporarily hidden, temporarily not understood."   - Captain Kirk, Star Trek *~*~*~*  As more and more of the human race awaken from their long soul slumber, we all begin to experience back to back shifts of consciousness. Long gone are the days when those shifts occurred once every few months or years! Now it's literally every other day!  As those shifts occur -- we collectively have this knee-jerk reaction  to pull back and go into hiding.  And there's a reason for that.  As most of you are aware, Ego sees change-- any change -- as a threat! Quick to respond, Ego's first reaction is to talk you into becoming invisible, so as to not be seen by the  perceived enemy.   And if Ego can't get you to comply -- then it begins using guilt, shame, and other various fears. It sets out to ...
